For one you need to use SMC Takumars so you can meter wide open instead of stopped down if you use older Super Takumar lenses. I have an "F" but like to use the ES or ESII that meter wide open with the SMC Takumars. My favorite SMC lens I use on my ES cameras is the 35mm f2. I also like the 24mm. For a tele lens I like the 300mm f4. Before eBay, a lens that took me awhile to locate is the 15mm SMC Takumar. Occasionally it appears on eBay. Jim A.
